13 week Belly Pics (and others)

so today = 13 weeks. sometimes it seems like this pregnancy is going wicked slow- then i realize i'm 13 weeks & it's like, wow! it's flying by!

anyway, this morning:

(sorry, no alex in this one)

as you can see- i don't look all that pregnant. by the end of the day, yes- there is an obvious bump (thanks to food, bloat & etc) but i can still walk around without anyone guessing (unless i wear a tight shirt & stick it out...which i don't)

i can still fit into my regular pants & such- so that's a plus!

everyone says you show sooner with #2- but i'm not sure. while i am a bit more "bumpy" this time around, i'm not really "showing" per say. so we'll see what the next few weeks bring...

and because alex is absent from the above pic:

this is her today @ 6AM- none too pleased that i made her sit in the jumper while i took belly pics. but she's into throwing herself backwards with no warning, so to avoid a concussion while i wasn't looking- this was a must.

and here are some other pics- i rented a lense for a week (thanks to the wedding i shot last Sun) and i have to send it back today- so i took a couple shots yesterday before i have to give it up. ::sigh:: it's a beautiful lense, but considering that it has a price tag of $1,500...yeah. not gonna happen right now:

i'm actually not a fan of iris'- but they afforded me a great little photo op- so i say thank you.

and the pups:

cessna

maximus

and them having a..."special" moment.

notice the color differences in this pic & the 2 above. this pic is SOOC while the other 2 have been adjusted in LR. amazing what a little exposure adjust, color bump & blacks bump can do. the grass looks green, the dogs look better- i love LR.

and that's it. don't forget that today is FREE DONUT DAY at Dunkins and Krispy Kreme! i've already taken advantage (at Dunkins because NH doesn't believe in KK).
